Dilip was running late on his lettering when I arrived to pick up.  He and his family are going to their home village tomorrow in order to vote in the Nepali elections.   So he was in a rush.

Leo the Dalmatian gets his final touches. 

Now Dilip and his family can go off and vote and the paintings will be fully dry for pick up in a week.  I looked it up, his home village is a full 8-hour drive in normal times.  And traffic is worse as everyone is headed home for the elections.   I like that he is doing his civic duty!

More soon from Megh Raj!

If you would like to have your dog (cat, horse, chicken, bunny, bearded dragon, etc.) immortalized on metal here in Nepal, you can send me a photo of your pet.   I am now in Kathmandu, Nepal, taking orders.

I will return to the US in early December, 2022, in plenty of time to deliver for holiday gifts.

You choose the style, the color, what you would like the sign to say...

This hand-painted art form is fast disappearing in Kathmandu, as it already has in most parts of the world.   I pay fair trade wages, the artists get to paint again, pet lovers get a choice of three paintings for each commission, and I get to help Nepali artists make a living.   Everybody is happy.   Rescue dogs from America get to rescue artists from Nepal!

HOW TO ORDER

1.  Send me a photo of your pet to [email protected]. Find out more at www.NepalDog.com..  

2. Let me know the name of your pet, their breed and what you would like it to say.

I will give the photo to three different artists, giving you a choice of 3 paintings and three artists will get work.   Each painting is about one square foot and is on metal with synthetic enamel paint.   These can be hung indoors or out, be framed or unframed.

While I am in Nepal, your pet will be featured on the Danger Dog Blog, as I stop into the artists' studios and document the works in progress.

Satisfaction is guaranteed as I accept no money up front.   If you do not like one of the three, you pay nothing, and the 3 artists are paid in full in any case.   Let me know what you want it to say and that's it!

Let's keep these artists painting.

Live from Kathmandu: Works in Progress from Sagar Bitsa

 Sagar surprised me this evening!  He sent works in progress showing actual progress!  Sagar paints his backgrounds first and then the dog or cat. He sent this last week, and I had a hard time figuring out which dog or cat was which.  But we all agree that he has a nice view from his rooftop.

Sagar's works in progress on his Rooftop

It is always interesting to see how a painting progresses and it was good of Sagar to send two versions.
LeoDalmatianSagarWIP
Leo the Dalmatian Dog as a Work in Progress by Sagar

 Leo, a very handsome Dalmatian pup, is well on his way in this diptych.  I think it is close to being finished, but still needs lettering, as do all others in this post.

 Over the years, when asked to do a portrait of a human alongside their pets, Sagar is my go to artist.  He enjoys the challenge and has not let me down.  Here we have Bess and her beloved Ginger Cat Hamilton.

Beignet the Ranch Dog by Sagar as a work in progress

Beignet is a very lucky dog who has the run of a ranch.  I can't wait to see this one in its final incarnation. 

Ancho Toy Poodle Sagar WIP

 The adorable Ancho.  To me, this reminiscent of Magritte's Bowler Hat paintings. I love the way that Ancho is floating.  Perhaps a green apple overhead?

Jacs the Jack Russell Terrier by Sagar as a work in progress

Ranger is a beautiful Pit Bull that has recently passed.  Obviously she was a beautiful dog that was well loved.  And she was also photogenic with that big smile.

Sagar means 'Ocean' in Nepali and he has placed Ranger in front of his namesake.  I do not think he has ever seen the ocean as Nepal is landlocked.

Live from Kathmandu: New works in progress from Sanjib Rana

Sanjib Rana is a very talented artist whose work keeps getting better and more interesting every year.  

Opie the Catahoula Pit Bull mix by Sanjib Rana
Opie the Catahoula Pit Bull mix by Sanjib Rana

Opie, a Catahoula Leopard/ Pit Bull mix with striking blue eyes and lovely markings, is wrapped in a magenta blanket.  Sanjib did a great job in capturing his exotic beauty.   Lettering still to come in all of these portraits by Sanjib.

Orfeo the Xolo by Sanjib Rana
Orfeo the Xolo by Sanjib Rana

Orfeo is a Xoloitzcuitli dog, (pronounced “show-low-eats-QUEENT-lee”) is a 3000 year old breed from Mexico, considered by the Aztecs (and modern owners) to be alert, loyal and a vigilant watchdog.  Sanjib's first reaction to seeing this photo was that Orfeo looked like a deer.  All 3 of the artists that received this photo were fascinated by his unusual beauty.

Anya the Dalmatian by Sanjib Rana
Anya the Dalmatian by Sanjib Rana

This is the first work in progress that I have seen of this pretty pup.  Anya, a spectacular Dalmatian Dog rules the pool in Sanjib's portrait.  Again, still awaiting lettering.

Lusso the Italian Greyhound by Sanjib Rana
Lusso the Italian Greyhound by Sanjib Rana

Lusso is a luminous and elegant Italian Greyhound.  This first portrait by Sanjib is still awaiting lettering.  The photo that Sanjib had to work made his job easier and Sanjib did a great job.  Traditional Beware of Dog art in Nepal often featured a circle motif and this works for me.

Q Work In Progress by Sanjib Rana
Q Work In Progress by Sanjib Rana

This is the second work in progress that I have seen of Q, a well-loved dog recently departed.  This is a good tribute to a handsome dog.

Leo the Dalmatian Dog by Sanjib Rana

Leo the Dalmatian is simply awaiting the addition of his name to his portrait.  Leo looks wonderful with his bright red backdrop added by Sanjib.

Triple Damatians by Sanjib Rana

This trio of lucky Dalmatians are hot on the trail in this portrait by Sanjib Rana.   Leo, Katia and Anya will have their names added to this painting.

Buni, an Enlightened Dog, relaxes in elegant settings in this portrait by Sanjib.

The artists are sending these photos digitally via Facebook who compresses the images.  Therefore they are small, but I promise to send high resolution images when I see the artworks in person.   If anyone would like to not have lettering added to Sanjib's work, that can be arranged for one more day or two.   Let me know asap.
